How to Do Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand Pose)
Sarvangasana, also known as Shoulder Stand Pose, is a classic inverted yoga posture that helps improve balance, strengthens muscles, enhances flexibility, and supports overall body wellness.
Steps to Perform Sarvangasana
- Lie flat on your back in Shavasana with your body relaxed.
- Slowly inhale and raise both legs together upward.
- In the beginning, use your hands for support. With regular practice, engage the thigh and core muscles for better balance.
- Gradually lift the buttocks and waist upward with the support of the hands.
- Bring both legs behind the head slightly while maintaining control.
- While exhaling, raise both legs upward so they form a right angle to the floor.
- Support the waist with both hands and keep the body straight in one vertical line.
- Keep the legs straight, spine aligned, and gaze upward.
- Hold the final pose for 3 to 4 slow breaths.
- Exhale gently and lower the legs slowly with hand support.
- Relax in Shavasana after completing the posture.
- Repeat 3 to 4 times, gradually increasing the holding duration.
